A superbug  killed my husband 7 years ago  when he was a patient at Monash Hospital.His resistence was very very low and he wasn`t strong enough to fight it and we as family had to turn off his life support..

Nicnacs, I am so very sorry for what you have all been through.  So heartbreaking for you.

David, superbugs have been developing in hospitals for many years....slowly but surely they develop a resistance to the antibiotics being used.

It appears that this is the superbug to end all superbugs....something doctors have been dreading for a while.

It is very doubtful that a bug developed for warfare would find it's way into a hospital.
